Planning Drawings:

Got Big Plans? Planning Drawings — Done Properly

You’ve got a vision — an extension, a conversion, maybe a total revamp. But before you can build it, you need drawings that your council will approve and your builder can actually work from. That’s where we come in.

Got Big Plans? Planning Drawings — Done Properly

I Know What I Want to Build — I Just Don’t Know How to Get it Approved.

This is where most people get stuck. You’re ready to go, but the next step is a blur of technical terms, planning portals, and documents you’ve never seen before.

You might be thinking:

Do I even need planning permission?
What drawings are required?
Who does them — and how do I make sure they’re right?

You’re not alone — this is exactly where we come in.

We Make Measuring Effortless

No tape measures. No handheld lasers. We use LiDAR scanning technology — the same used in self-driving cars — to capture your home with millimetre precision. That means zero guesswork, zero stress, and a perfect foundation for your plans.

We create your Drawings

We turn your scan into ultra-precise, council-ready drawings — typically within 10 working days. The level of accuracy we provide is unrivalled by most traditional methods.

We Handle Everything Until You’re Approved

Our agents manage the entire application process — from submission to decision. We deal with the council on your behalf, so you don’t have to chase updates, respond to queries, or deal with any of the stress.

🛠️ How We Help

At SurvDesign, we turn your idea into council-ready, builder-friendly planning drawings — fast, accurate, and with zero jargon.

We start with a LiDAR scan of your property (yes, the same tech used in self-driving cars), then use AutoCAD, Revit, and 3D software to draft clear, precise plans that tick all the planning boxes.

We handle everything from Permitted Development plans to full Planning Applications, and we know exactly what your local council expects.

📄 What’s Included:

✅ Measured Building Survey
✅ Existing & Proposed Floor Plans
✅ Elevations & Sections
✅ Roof Plans
✅ Site & Location Plans
✅ Design & Access Statements (if required)
✅ Submission Support (we can handle it for you)

FAQs

“Do I need planning permission or can I just build?”
Don’t worry — we’ll tell you. If you can build under Permitted Development, we’ll guide you through it. If you need full permission, we’ll submit the proper plans.

“What if the council rejects my drawings?”
We’ll revise them — no extra cost. We know what planners want and we’ll work with them to get your plans approved.

“I’ve already got a builder — can you still help?”
Absolutely. In fact, they’ll love you for it. We provide accurate, scaled plans your builder can actually use, not guesswork scribbles.

✅ What Happens Next

You tell us your idea — loft, extension, or conversion
We quote you a fair, fixed price — no surprises
We scan, draw, and deliver your plans — fast and accurate
You move forward with confidence — ready to build or submit

Top Quality Drawings, Unbeatable Value...

Kevin is flexible, listens to what has been asked. He is knowlegeable about ideas and suggestions and gives you leave options. The plans were clear to read and were done to a professional high standard. If you live in Essex and want a good value price then Kevin is the man to contact. My plans were submitted on Monday as the price is going out and they were done in a timely manner.
